Meanwhile, at the Free Republic …

… Helen Chenoweth-Hage is missed:

1. This is so sad, I do hope enough sanity can be reclaimed in the House of Representative to pay honor to her life. She was one special lady, I always loved to listen to her speak — Just My Thoughts .

2. One of my alltime favorites. RIP — Free Vulcan .

3. Helen and Wayne were both ‘Points of Light’ (Randy Travis song; “There is a time, when you cannot walk away, When you’ve got to stand up straight and tall and mean the words you say; There is a time you must do it ‘cause it’s right; That’s when you become a Point of Light”). The entire world is blessed for them having been here, if only for a short few years. It was my blessing to have been counted among their friends. With reddened eyes and a huge lump in my throat, I want to believe it’s not true, that somehow it’s a mistake, that I could drive out to Pine Creek Ranch and find them still there. God, how You blessed us by sharing these two with us! — Carry Okie .

4. Yes she was, and I was disappointed today that her passing got little media notice. Oh well the media has an election to engineer — Grandma C .

5. A true conservative. Salute — 1rudeboy .

DFO: For those keeping score at home, this may be the first time I’ve ever used something from the Free Republic. And, mebbe, the second or third time I’ve looked at the site.
